Sanitizing and disinfecting substrates of a nonwoven fabric material are loaded with an HOCl solution having a FAC concentration from about 25 ppm to about 750 ppm and a potential of hydrogen (pH) from about 4.5 pH to about 7.5 pH. The substrate may be a synthetic nonwoven fabric laminate having outer layers of one or more Spunbond synthetic fibers and an inner layer of polyester (PET) or pulp. Alternatively, the substrate may be an organic nonwoven fabric formed from one or more layers of cellulosic fibers. The layers may be bonded together by adhesive bonding, chemical bonding or thermal bonding. The substrates may be disposed within a container for storing and subsequently dispensing the substrates. The substrates may be pre-moistened and disposed within the container, or alternatively, disposed within the container and subsequently moistened with the HOCl solution.

A detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a cleaning agent for hard surfaces, having at least two phases which are different from each other. The detergent or cleaning agent includes at least one first phase and at least one second phase that is different, with the at least one first phase being solid and the at least one second phase having at least one polymer and at least one polyvalent alcohol.

A laundry washing machine having a cabinet supporting a washing drum adapted to receive laundry, and a washing tub external to the washing drum, and a treating agents dispenser with one or more compartments adapted to be receive treating agents. A first one of the compartments has a predefined zone configured to receive a unit dose package having a pre-measured amount of treating agent incorporated into a water-soluble pouch. The machine has a valve configured to connect to a source of pressurized water, and a water conveying line fluidly connected to the valve and having one or more outlets. The entirety of the water conveying line is water tight except for the outlets. The outlets are configured to direct a respective pressurized flow of water therethrough. At least one outlet is configured to direct a first pressurized flow of water into the first compartment towards the predefined zone.

The invention relates to surfactants of general formula (I) in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent independently of one another represent H and SO.sub.3.sup.−X+ with the proviso that at least one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is not H, n and m represent independently from each other numbers from 0-21 under the proviso that 4<n+m<26, and X.sup.+ represents a charge-balancing anion. The surfactants can be incorporated into detergents or cleaning agents, have excellent technological application properties and can be produced based on renewable raw materials.

The invention relates to surfactants of general formula (I) in which R represents a linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl, alkylaryl or alkenylaryl group having 5-25 C atoms and X.sup.+ represents a charge-balancing cation. The surfactants can be incorporated into detergents or cleaning agents, have excellent technological application properties and can be produced based on renewable raw materials.

A unit dose detergent pack is disclosed. The unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch formed from a water-soluble film and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes an alkanolamine, an acid, a copolymer formed from first and second monomers with the first monomer being diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), and an alkali metal sulfite or bisulfite. The copolymer and the alkali metal sulfite or bisulfite interact with at least one of the alkanolamine and the acid to reduce discoloration of the liquid detergent composition.

This invention relates to a soap bar composition which provides enhanced delivery of water soluble skin benefit agents such that the desired activity of the benefit agent is observed for a long time post the wash. This is achieved by absorbing/coating the benefit agent on to specific clays followed by further coating with a hydrophobic material selected from wax or petrolatum.

A dissoluble film comprising a slip agent wherein said film has biased distribution of the slip agent towards one surface of the film.

Disclosed herein are unit dose articles comprising one or more compartments, the one or more compartments comprising a nonwoven web and a water soluble film.

The present invention provides formulations comprising a suspension of nanocellulose (NC) elements and a drying/dispersal additive selected from the group consisting of temperature-responsive polymers, small molecule additives in volatile systems, and blocking agents and methods of preparing such formulations, and further provides NC-containing materials, composite materials and useful articles of manufacture made therefrom.
